18 FileMaker Server Administrator’s Guide
To verify that the database is usable from a client machine:
1. Launch FileMaker Pro 7 or FileMaker Developer 7.
2. Choose File menu > Open Remote.
3. Select Local Hosts from the View menu, and choose your server
from the list. The name of the sample database should appear in the
column on the right.
4. If your server is not on your local network, you can enter the
network file path directly in the Open Remote dialog box by typing
fmnet:/hostIPAddress/FMServer_Sample_Config.fp7, where
hostIPAddress is the IP address of your server.
5. If you can open the sample database, your copy of
FileMaker
Server is installed correctly.
Close the sample database, and quit FileMaker Pro.
If you cannot open the sample database, review the previous steps
and see the troubleshooting topics in FileMaker
Server Help for
more suggestions.
